I can’t see through the viewfinder?

I bought my minolta x-370 online. when i got it, i could see through the viewfinder but the lever was stuck so i figured it needed new batteries. i got new batteries for it, put them in, and i tried to take a picture but something happened and now i can’t see through the viewfinder and the lever is still stuck.

does anyone know why this is happening? is something broken?

Update (11/03/2019)

I could see through the viewfinder just fine before I added new batteries. Now all I can see is black and the mirror won’t stay down.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Carefully pull on the mirrors edge ever so slightly! To test to see if the foam cushion got gummy which is now holding the mirror. Don’t pull more than a millimeter or two as you could damage the mirror linkage.

If that don’t do it you’ll need to find a camera repair person who has the skills to pull the mirror cage as the linkage or the electromagnet has a problem. This is more than a DIY job.
